It's so hard to post this, sorry if it's long. Stonewall came to me when he was 7mos old, I was an employee at the animal shelter where he was rescued as a tiny baby with distemper. He shared my office with me since he wasn't ready to be around other cats, and our bond grew until he came home...

Hi @catmom2wires - thanks for your reply! The vet told me that she didn't want to traumatize him with a blood draw today while he's still settling in because a negative test now could be a false negative and we would have to test again anyway. (She said she would be confident in a negative...

Hello everyone, thanks for reading my first post! I'm happy to have found this resource and am looking forward to getting advice and updating you on this journey! A little about me: I've always loved cats and was a no-kill shelter manager many years ago. My 18-year-old kitty was my office mate...
